§ 13. Mr. STANIERasked why the Harper Adams Agricultural College is to have no grant for wart disease in potatoes next year, seeing that the investigation has done such good work?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANThe Advisory Committee on Agricultural Science to which the application of the college was referred was of opinion that the investigations proposed were not such as to fall within the scope of the grant made to the Board for scientific research. But I recognise the value of the work which has been done and I hope it may be possible to arrange for its continuance. The means by which this may be done are now under consideration.
